* [[Sci Fi]] short stories sometimes like this star for a [[Tomato Surprise]]. For instance, in [[Arthur C. Clarke (Creator)|Arthur C. Clarke]]]'s ''The Star'', a Jesuit astronomer is a member of the crew which finds the remains of a peaceful, near-utopian society on a planet that had a Class 5 [[Apocalypse How]] when its sun went supernova. His faith is shaken when he realizes that the supernova was the Star of Bethelehem.

* In the Christmas story ''The Littlest Angel'', the littlest angel's gift to the Child Jesus (a box he had on Earth, containing the sort of small things that are treasures to a very young boy -- a butterfly, a bird's egg, two stones, and the collar that had been his dog's) is turned into the Star of Bethlehem. [http://www.jdhooperman.com/merrychristmas/LittlestAngel.html You can read it here].
* The [[Veggie Tales (Animation)|Veggie Tales]] movie ''The Star of Christmas'' had wacky hijinks revolving around an ancient artifact "The Star of Christmas" representing the Star of Bethlehem.
* The Star of Bethlehem appears in ''[[To Aru Majutsu no Index]]'' Volume 22 {{spoiler|as an [[Ominous Floating Castle]] summoned by Fiamma of the Right}}.
* A proverbial Star of Bethlehem appears at William's Christ-like birth in ''[[The X-Files]]'' episode "Existence".
* In a pre-Crisis Superboy/Legion story, the Teen Of Steel wants to use his pals advanced tech to finally locate the Star. Skeptical Brainiac 5 nonetheless aids the search, but all his efforts reveal is a planet full of a species of alien in desperate need of help. Though they never find the Star, Superboy decides that a planet in need of aid that they would never have found but for the search is the same thing as a star that seemingly never existed.
* In the [[Chris De Burgh]] song ''A Spaceman Came Travelling'', the star turns out to be the spacecraft of the titular alien spaceman, parked over Bethlehem.
